Is it a good idea to vacuum stink bugs?

Its all up to you, but for me–NO! No! Unless you have money to blow on buying a special stink bug vacuum every few months, why destroy your property for stink bugs. That’s like encouraging someone to buy a separate car so the stink bugs can destroy that not your car, both are your cars, would you buy an extra car for a thief to steal? Then why by a special vacuum, set aside for stink bugs.

Whether you scoop them up or vacuum them, stink bugs are going to smell- kill the bugs then deal with the smell. I have said it again and again, these bugs will lay belly up in a window seal, “playing dead” all of a sudden you come a long, grab the vacuum, suck them up, then– stink up your vacuum, they get sucked in to stink bug heaven because other stink bugs are also in the bag with other “supposedly dead” bugs-they soon mate, by the time you throw the bag in the trash, they are now acquainted with several of their friends and now they emerge from the bag, ready to lay an entire new generation of stink bugs-Congratulations!

I am not buying a vacuum, for these bugs to destroy- I will by a fly swatter and chase them down and kill them, and leave their mutilated bodies as a testament to their friends.

In the end, do what you like! Keep in mind, buying a special vacuum is all you— but know in the end, a vacuum does nothing alone to stop the spread of stink bugs- it just gives them a meeting place, to meet other bugs and possible get pregnant and have more.
